Industry
Retail
Retail businesses collect, process, and store large amounts of customer data. In order to make a transaction, businesses require customer's Personal Identifiable Information and Credit Card data. This is prized data for a hacker because they can carry out further attacks with this information, sell this data in the dark web, or use the data to make personal purchases. Because of this large target on retailers, regulation is constantly evolving and becoming more stringent.
Businesses in this sector are required to constantly review the latest regulations and ensure they are implemented in their IT environment.
Key benefits
01
Holistic view of the infrastructure
Nanitor provides an overview of all devices, software, users, configurations, known vulnerabilities, and missing security patches matched against PCI-DSS requirements or other compliance frameworks. The outcome is a prioritized task list across your whole infrastructure that makes your remediation systematic and enjoyable.
02
Risk-based prioritization
Make the most of your limited resources by prioritizing the highest-risk issues. Nanitor assesses the risk of discovered issues based on external sources and assigns a prioritization score based on the asset criticality.
03
Blast radius minimization
Reduce the risk of lateral movement by hardening relevant configurations and known vulnerabilities. The best practice benchmarks for security configurations and known vulnerability databases are included in the platform.
04
Automatic monitoring
Nanitor automatically (in 5-minute intervals) checks and reports on thousands of compliance-related security issues across your infrastructure. Trust is good, verification is better.
Retailers can integrate secure practices while still providing a user friendly experience
Retailers are in constant battle of providing their customers with the best user experience in comparison to their competitors. This can lead to compromising your security posture but that shouldn’t be the case. Automation can help ease the burden of identifying vulnerabilities as you develop the new features your customer's desire.
It can also ensure that you continue to be in compliance with frameworks that apply to your business. Security shouldn't be an afterthought for the best user experience, but it should be seen as another enhancement that the customer's data is safe with you.
Locate PII and Credit Card data in your environment
In order to protect PII and Credit Card data, you'll need to know where it's located. Nanitor's PII scanner can identify social security numbers and Credit Card information throughout your environment or on select devices. Nanitor notifies you of the location of this data and an extract of the data found. This information helps your business stay in compliance and prevents potential data breaches.
Network segmenting cardholder data reduces the risk to your business
Separating cardholder data from the rest of your environment, will make it harder for attackers to impact the security of that data. By segmenting this data you can control access from external environments that could be attempting to steal your customer's information. One of the requirements of PCI DSS is ensuring cardholder data is protected and Nanitor can help you verify whether you are compliant to this requirement in your environment.
Encryption can help prevent attackers from viewing your data
Encryption prevents unauthorized users from viewing confidential data. Encryption needs to be performed for data at rest, in motion, and in use. Nanitor helps identify that the correct configurations are implemented in your environment so that customer data is never at risk of being exposed. Encryption is another requirement of PCI DSS and Nanitor also helps you verify that you're in compliance with this requirement.
Provide peace of mind for your customers through PCI DSS Compliance
Although two requirements of PCI DSS have already been mentioned, there are several more requirements that are involved in order to be PCI DSS compliant. PCI DSS requirements are constantly evolving and Nanitor automates the process of identifying where you might be non-compliant. Customers will know they can trust you with their data and your company can avoid financial losses from potential breaches or regulatory fines.
